- Coachella Valley Unified School District
-
The Coachella Valley Unified School District is a public school district in Riverside County, California, United States, with headquarters in Thermal. The District serves a 100-square-mile (260 km2) area, including the city of Coachella, a portion of Indio, south of Avenues 48 or 49, and Salton City in Imperial County.[citation needed].
The CVUSD headquarters is located on the Coachella Valley High School campus, and near proposed grade and middle school sites to accommodate a fast-growing population of the area, which is predominantly Hispanic (over 80% of CVUSD students, excluding those from seasonal migrant laborers) and residents from Coachella are a large portion of students in the high school.[citation needed]
